No really quite sure how to describe this but here goes: I have previously tried designing this many times, but fail every single time. I have a Stokke tripp trapp chair for my kids, and I want to design something that can slide into the ‘tracks’ (?) These are a good example: Tripp Trapp adapter f…

[image] olemoi: The next issue is the curvature of the front edge of the chair, in addition to the slope of it. Even when I managed to make a rounded shape that somewhat fit, I had no chance designing the rest of the assembly (attaching it to the chair). Post a perfect side profile pick (90de…

Actually you can also download the STL file for the white plastic clip and import it into Shapr. Then you should be able to split the body to get the profile you need for your sketch.

Famous chairs and stuff from Ikea are readily available as 3d models. There are few different sources where you a download 3d files from a google search. [image] Tripp Trapp 3d model by Design Connected Free 3d model of Tripp Trapp by Stokke Produced by Design Connected. …

I imported the STL of the bracket. [IkeaTripp3] made an intersection of the part of it where it fits in the groove. Then traced it with the spline tool into a sketch. You can right click on face (windows) and choose sketch on face. [IkeaTripp] [IkeaTripp5pg]

The STL from the Printables? I was able to use the split tool, just tried it. Also it looks the STL is just straight up circle, they might have done an approximation. [image]

Also the file was simple enough for Mesh to Solid converstion. Converted Step file. tripp_trapp_ikea_trofast_adapter001 (Solid).step (4.0 MB)

While at it I downloaded the chair, converted half to STEP file, might take a minute or two load. tripp_trapp001 chair (Solid).step (12.6 MB) [image]

It is a bit slow to open as Step. It opens in about 2 seconds as a parasolid

ya it’s a conversation from OBJ and the program don’t have parasolid as an option export option.

I couldn’t split STL body OR project the face of the STL OR select edges on a body that the STL was subtracted from to project them??? That’s not ideal!
